We have all been there. Working the early morning news, when there aren’t any graphic artists scheduled, but a late breaking news story comes in. You need to get a photograph someone emailed you into an Over-The-Shoulder graphic, but there isn’t an artist to help. What do you do…? Well, we have “Streamlined the workflow” using watch folders. Check it out and ask your system administrator about it.

MOS 134 - Configuration of Connection Points and Channel Groups in XPression 8.5 or Higher

Setting up Channel Groups in the XPression Gateway makes creating control room configurations easier than ever. Now it is possible to set up unique channel mappings for multiple control rooms in a single facility and even segregate the playout engines to be accessible to only certain Remote Sequencers. This allows for either protection from one control room accidently taking over the engines of another, or to create backup configurations using other engines.

MOS 138 - Larger Thumbnails in the XPression MOS ActiveX Plugin Rundown View

Producers trying to review the XPression items in their newscast have come to love the BROWSE function of the XPression MOS ActiveX plug-in. However, the one complaint was the thumbnail view was too small to proofread some of the graphics. Well, but those reading glasses back on top of your head. We made the thumbnails even larger in XPression 8.5 or higher. Now it is even easier to proofread the graphics in the Browse tab of the XPression MOS plug-in.

MOS 142 - Configuration of the XPression MOS Abstract

That little blob of text that shows up in the script pages after an XPression Graphic is dragged into the script was difficult to configure and full of useless information. Well, not anymore!
Now it is possible for administrators to structure the MOS Abstract by right-clicking in the XPression Gateway input field for MOS Objects and selecting the desired tags to create an expression statement that forms the MOS Abstract for XPression. Set the format for how the MOS Abstract is created, and if you are really savvy, you can use the Description field to hold unique information like the number of reveals for the director to call out during the playout of your package. Very cool and pretty easy.

MOS 144 - Setting Character Count Limits in XPression Text Objects

Designers Spent a lot of time fussing over fonts which are attractive, easy to read and when used with the right number of characters don’t look messy or crowded. If you ever wish there was a way to limit the number of characters which could be added into an XPression Text Object; today is your lucky day! Now it is possible to set a hard limit (no more text can go into the input field) but there is also a soft limit to alert the journalist that they are close to too many characters boing in the box. Set this up for each Text Object and be assured that the graphics integrity is maintained without using rulers to crack knuckles.

MOS 146 - Reserving an XPression Offline Render Engine for the NLE Workflow

Customers who maximize their utilization of a templated workflow often add NLE clients to their XPression Gateway. The get the rendered files delivered to the NLE user, an Offline Render Engine associated with the XPression Gateway is used. Customers in high volume newsrooms and edit suites add additional Offline Render Engines and want to segregate the NLE rendering from the MOS client preview rendering. XPression now supports reserving an Offline Render Engine to work specifically with the NLE clients.
